ADJUSTABLE ATTACHMENT FOR CAPS.

To all as 710m it may concern:

Be it known that I, JuLrUs Rosnnzwnio, a citizen oi the United States, residing in New York city, State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Adjustable Attachments for Caps, ct which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in adjustable caps made of cloth or similar material.

The present-invention has for its objects, among others, to provide a simplified means for rendering the cap readily adjustable so that the one cap can be made to accommodate itself with equal facility when caps of different sizes are required. I dispense with the buckle usually employed, and in lieu thereof I employ a two-part band with. overlapping ends, the one with a multiplicity of holes, and the other with a projecting member to engage in any one or" said holes according to the size of cap required. The other ends of the parts of the band are secured beneath portions of the cap at the ends of the peak or visor and at the top thereof.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will hereinafter appear and the novel features thereof will be particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawing, which, with the nun' erals ot'r reference marked thereon, forms a part of this specification, and in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a cap embodying my invention.

Figure 2 is a sect-ion on the line 22 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 Figure 2.

Figure 4 is a detail in side elevation.

Like numerals of reference indicate like parts in the several views.

Referring to the drawings,

1 designates the crown of the cap, which may be of any of the well-known or ap proved forms of construction.

The cap is provided with a sweatband 2 of the usual construction except that it is capable oi the desired adjustment.

is a section on the line 33 of 9) is the peak or visor oi usual construe tion, provided with one member 4; of a separable or snap fastener, the cooperating member of which 5 is on the front oi? the cap, so that when the front of the crown is drawn down and the fastener member engaged, the sizeadjusting elements, now to be described, will be concealed from view. The crown has at its lower edge a skirt portion (3 which open at the front ends thereof, and in these open ends there are secured the ends of the two members 7 and 8 of the adjusting band. As seen in Figure 2, these ends are disposed between the skirt (5 and the lining 9 where they may be fastened or secured in any suitable way. The band may be formed of celluloid, metal or any other material suited to the purpose, the one member being formed with a plurality of holes 10, and the other with a resilient fastener member 11 adapted to engage in any one oi said holes according to the size of cap required. The member 8 is provided with a resilient member 12 having inclined portions 13, between which the end of the memher 7 may be sprung, the end of said member 7 having a substantially rightnngled member let to prevent endwise displacement of the two members of the band by contact with the portion 13 when the straps are moved to their utmost open position.

In Figure d the skirt portion 2 is turned up to show the it'astening 15 of the end of the band thereunder. The mode of use will be apparent. The band member 7 is adjusted endwise until the desired size of cap is obtained, and then the member 11 is engagged in the appropriate hole 10.

Modifications in detail may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention or sacrificing any of its advantages.

What is claimed as new is 1. An adjustment attachment for caps, comprising two members designed for attachment at one end to a cap, the one member formed with a terminal lug and a plurality 01? holes, the other member having adjacent its free end a resilient fastener member for engagement in said holes, and a resilient member having inclined portions between which the free ends of the other member may he sprung, snicl lug cooperating With said resilient member to limit the enclwise movement of the two members one upon the other.

2. An adjustment attachment for caps, comprising two members designed for arttschment at one end to :1 cap, the one member formed with n plurality oi? holes, and an angular lug at its free end the other memher having zuljzu-ent its free end a resilient fastener member for engagement in said holes, and a resilient member having inclined portions between which the free enrls of the other member may be sprung. 15 In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature.
